No flames, but a note to say it ain't THAT easy.  The hobby is littered with
good castoffs from folks who thought it was that easy.  Throw money at it
and go to town.  But it doesn't work that way.  If it was, every imager with
a big bank account would be putting out Hallas quality stuff.  We don't see
that.  We see the Hallas and near-Hallas quality stuff from a select few who
have done their homework (and invested the bucks).
